The Sacramento river had an upward
tendency yesterday, and at P. NJ. registered
IL feet incheS-a rise of four inches in
twenty-four hours. While this rise is sup
posed to be due mainly to the arrival of
waters from the upper Sacramento, where
the stream was at some localities higher a
few days ago than it was ever known be-
fore, but only for little while, it could
be seen that the American was adding con-
siderably to the larger streams volume.
Chief Dillman, few days ago received a
letter asking about the reward for Wells,
the murderer" and whether the Chief had
any of his photographs, as the correspond

whereabouts. Inasmuch as the murders
committed by Wells took place in 1860,
and, if he should now appear in the city
and announce himself, there is not suffi-
cient evidence remaining to convict him,
the Chief did not return VERY enthusiastic
answer to the letter.

Cheyenne, to bring back the young man f.
Leach, arrested there a few days ago on a

requisition papers, as there was difference

the Governors Private Secretary as to the
charge to be made against the prisoner !;
but it was finally made to read making,
uttering, passing and publishing q fictitious
check, with the intent to defraud ]. NJ.
Morrison in the sum Of $780,
Frank Robertson, who recently con-
cluded lengthy term of imprisonment for
disturbing the peace, was drunk and dis
orderly Yesterday and created disturbance
in the Mikado saloon. Officer Rider, seeing
a crowd assembling there, went to inquire
what the trouble was, and put Robertson
under arrest A few days ago he was look
ing remarkably well, and declared that he
had taken new departure and proposed to
live life of sobriety henceforth. His
q friends have doubtless unintentionally
led him into trouble again by well meant
invitations to " take somethin'."
A middle-aged woman, who gave the
name of Mrs. Birmingham, appeared at
the station house yesterday and made COM
plant that on the previous night, at a
very late hour, her husband drove her and
her little child from their house in the
alley between H and l, Eighth and Ninth
streets, and she had to get an officer to
assist her to find lodging house. Yester-
day she wanted to go to the house to get
her clothing and that of her child, but she
was told that her husband and his mother,
who is 81 years OF. age. had threatened to
beat her if she approached the premises
She therefore wanted an officer to go with
her and see that she was not ill-treated
when she went after the clothing. She
further declared that her husband did not
work. nor try to find any work, and she
had supported him for long time. Under
the circumstances she was willing to swear
to complaint accusing him of vagrancy
The proceedings did not go to that extent
however.
A Question of Precedence.
